Summary

A journalist recounts his own journey to come to terms with his brother's terrible crimes of sexual violence against women--and to find justice for the 15-year-old girl he kidnapped and murderedIn the gritty Docklands just miles from London, Sharkey defended his siblings from a violent father and from dangers at school and on the streets, but eventually moved away to become a journalist. His brother Stuart slid into a life of sexual violence against teenage girls, and prison time. Here Sharkey tackles the harsh reality of how the brother he once adored not only deceived his own family for decades but also destroyed another with the kidnapping and murder of his niece. -- adapted from jacket
